SHULMAN, James Of Brookline, on April 13, 2011. The family and friends of James Shulman, devoted husband to the late Beatrice Policoff Shulman, and loving partner to Virginia Soble, mourn the loss of a beloved father, grandfather, great-grandfather, and friend. Jim was a life long activist in the Jewish Community, and a great friend to Israel. He was an early member of the West End House, the Boston Settlement House that taught new immigrants how to become American Citizens. (“Where else were we to learn?”, he often said. “Our fathers may have been well educated, but how much time could a shaychet from Lithuania, who was trying to build a more relevant business in America, actually spare to spend with his kids? And mama? Too busy raising 5 children.”) After graduating Tufts and the Harvard ‘B’ school, Jim became a dedicated fundraiser for Israel’s Bond Drives, an active member and Chairman of the Board of Temple Emanuel in Newton, and a supporter of the Jewish Family and Children’s Services. A progressive thinker with an entrepreneurial spirit, Jim co-founded the New England-Israel Chamber of Commerce and pursued a wide variety of personal, business and non-profit interests. A C.P.A. with a varied business career which included forays into general finance, financial brokerage and consulting, Jim chucked it all in June, 1964, to pursue the leisure of the theory class by enrolling as a candidate in the Doctoral Program at Harvard Business School. Upon graduation, he assumed an appointment as Associate Professor at Northeastern University, followed by a professorship at MIT’s Sloan School; the Imede School of International Business in Lausanne, Switzerland; the University of Miami; and Florida Atlantic University. We will remember everything about Jim, but especially his love of his family; his commitment to life-long education; our family birthday trips to Israel and Jamaica; his love of golf and skiing that continued until his 90th birthday, and his fondness for telling a good Jewish joke. Jim was the family musician, and spent many hours improvising at the piano, playing the pump organ, and enjoying a variety of string instruments including the banjo, the mandolin, and the violin. He is survived by his partner Penny Soble, his Sister Adora Guggenheim, his son Stan Shulman and his partner Janet Kahan, his daughter Enid Shulman, his grandchildren Joshua Shulman and his wife Louise Tolzmann, Gilly Strauss, Ariel Strauss and Sarah Strauss and her husband Michael Delaney. Dear uncle of Steve Kaye and Barbara Wexler, Steve and Phyllis Guggenheim and his 4 fabulous great grandchildren: Elijah, Ezra, Liam and Lucy.

When Joe Press arrived at Cushing Hospital in 1945, the Army Air Corpsman, paralyzed in a diving accident in France, was told he might live another five years.
Instead, he launched an import-export business from his hospital bed and enriched his adopted hometown in countless ways before his death Wednesday at age 95.
“If there was a theme for what people could learn from his life, it would be not to let adversity get you down,” John Kahn, a former selectman and longtime friend, said of Press. “The wheelchair was the first thing you noticed and the first thing you forgot. It neither confined him nor defined him.”
Press “inspired me and so many others to do what’s right and what’s needed, even if those paths are filled with obstacles,” said Marc Jacobs, chief executive officer of Jewish Family Service of MetroWest. “Joe has been my hero.”
Press was a strong financial supporter of Jewish Family Services but also invested his time in the organization, including teaching English as a second language to Russian and Latin American immigrants.
“He was a great teacher (who) became my friend, then became my client,” said Justo Rasareo, a home health aide. As well as teaching him the language, “he gave me a lot of good values. I learned a lot of things from his friendship, from the work he was doing.
“Mr. Press was a very important person,” and yet he was “the most humble person I’ve ever known.”
“Everyone’s dad is amazing,” said daughter Addy Press, but “my dad was one of those people who enriched someone’s life just by an encounter with them. He was just the most positive person you could encounter. He completely embraced life.”
“So much of what I was able to accomplish I owe to Cushing Hospital,” Joe Press said at a 2004 ceremony at the former hospital site.
He spent six years at the veterans hospital and made so many friends in the community he decided to make Framingham his home.
He met his wife, Lucy, when she answered an advertisement he placed for a housekeeper. They were married for more than 40 years.
“She was by his side through it all,” said Addy Press. “They did it all together.”
He ran a successful mail-order business, Chairborn Associates, in a time when “there wasn’t much accommodation for handicaps,” said his daughter, and “part and parcel of his success (was making sure) a significant part went to charity.”
He was interested in education for all, and looked for opportunities to help, she said. “He appreciated the fact that sometimes people need an extra hand to accomplish wonderful things.”
He supported the Girls for Success program of the Haifa Foundation in Israel as well as programs at Woodrow Wilson Elementary School in Framingham, sponsored scholarships at area high schools and helped a Cambodian family who came to the United States to escape the Khmer Rouge.
In 2006, the Lucy and Joe Food Pantry was established to honor the family’s long tradition of giving, inspired by the example of Press’ Russian immigrant parents in New Haven, Conn.
“From the moment in his childhood that Joe’s mom had him deliver bread to those without food and treat them with dignity, Joe cared about others in need,” Jacobs said.
Press cared about treating all people with dignity, including the German prisoners of war who did maintenance and housekeeping chores at Cushing Hospital.
“He didn’t like that some of the patients talked badly to the Germans,” said Nick Paganella, a longtime veterans activist who worked with Press for the Cushing commemoration in 2004.
Press helped form the Framingham Interfaith Council in 1977.
“He was a remarkable man,” said Wayland resident Gil Aliber, who was one of the regulars at Press’ weekly Wednesday discussion groups, and, even into his 90s, “he always wanted to learn.”
“He had a very rich life,” said Addy Press.
In addition to his wife and daughter, Press leaves his grandchildren, Noah Isaac Soilson and Rebecca Kate Soilson. He took part in Rebecca’s recent bat mitzvah.
A funeral service will be held today at noon at Temple Beth Sholom, 50 Pamela Road.
Donations in his memory may be made to Jewish Family Service of MetroWest, 475 Franklin St., Suite 101, Framingham 01702; Friends of Yad Sarah, 450 Park Ave., New York, NY 10022; or the Temple Beth Sholom Rabbi’s Fund.
American impressionist Harold Rotenberg spent many summers in Rockport.
With a hand he believed was guided by God, Harold Rotenberg painted canvases that gave new life to the spectrum of colors he admired in landscapes around the world.
From the rocky coast of Quebec to a hillside village in Israel to a cove in Rockport, where he spent many summers, Mr. Rotenberg painted scenes that formed a visual diary of international journeys that continued even after he turned 100. The subtlety of light, and its absence, spoke to him.
“Shadows,’’ he told the Globe in 1998, “are as important as the bass tones on a piano.’’
Mr. Rotenberg, an American impressionist whose work is part of the collections at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston and the Israeli Parliament building, died in his sleep April 2 in his Winter Park, Fla., home. He was 105, and until recently his health was so good that his physician cleared him to travel once more to Israel.
“His art was really about a very particular brush stroke that is identifiable throughout his career,’’ said his granddaughter Abigail Ross Goodman of Cambridge. “He was tremendously interested in light and landscape and how you could capture the essence of a moment through its light and the play of that light on the landscape.’’
Generous with the paint he applied, Mr. Rotenberg created canvases that provided an aesthetic experience as tactile as it was visual.
“The texture,’’ he mused as he ran his fingertips over a painting in a video, recorded just before he turned 104, that is posted on www.growingbolder.com. “I’m interested in what it feels like.’’
Never one to linger in his studio, Mr. Rotenberg traveled the world looking for subjects. He considered his paintings adventures and thought that standing in front of a scene as he committed it to canvas was an integral part of creativity.
“For me, each painting has to be a new experience,’’ he told American Artist magazine. “I can’t cook up things in a studio. I work on the spot and like to feel the challenge of the subject. I need to be fired up and inspired.’’
He also needed to feel the presence of the divine.
“The most amazing thing about my father was that he had such great faith in God,’’ said his son, Jon of Brookline.
In the 1998 interview with the Globe, Mr. Rotenberg said simply: “God is so good. I thank him every day, every minute. He pours in atmosphere.’’
Born in Attleboro, Mr. Rotenberg was the youngest of eight children. His father was a tailor, an artist with cloth, Mr. Rotenberg told interviewers.
Mr. Rotenberg tried his hand at painting after seeing an older brother create sculptures from female figure models, an appealing art subject for an adolescent boy. At 19, not long after graduating from high school in Attleboro, he traveled to the Middle East and Europe for months with his parents and studied art in Jerusalem.
Over the next dozen years, he also trained in Boston, Paris, and Austria, and in the decades that followed he returned often to Paris and spent months at a time in Israel. He studied at the Museum School in Boston, at the Académie Julian and the Académie de la Grand Chaumière in Paris, and the Kunst academy in Austria.
He also taught in Boston at the Museum School and the School of Practical Arts, and in settlement houses that helped immigrants adjust to life in this country, such as Hecht House in Dorchester.
As much as possible, though, he supported his family by painting and indulging his wanderlust, traveling to Mexico and Morocco, Japan and Europe.
“He had this hunger to discover things different from him,’’ his granddaughter said. “He wanted to know different people, experience different cultures. He had an appetite to know the world, and I think that curiosity and that passion gave him the lease on life he had for so long.’’
Everywhere he went, Mr. Rotenberg sought creative sustenance outside in the elements, sunshine or storm.
“I went to nature because I was looking for the accidental, the unusual,’’ he told the Boston Herald in 1995. “I never sat in a studio. I went outdoors where there was rain or heat or sunlight pouring down on you.’’
The experience, he said, was always spiritual.
“I am working with God when I paint,’’ he told the Herald. “I talk to God with my paintbrush.’’
Mr. Rotenberg’s first marriage, to Fay Amgott, ended in divorce.
In 1969, he married Charlotte Ettinger, and in the growingbolder.com video he said of an early portrait he painted of her, “She looks like Elizabeth Taylor.’’
She became his companion on his travels, too, and got to see up close the joy he felt, brush in hand.
“When he paints, he smiles,’’ she said in the video.
“Relationships were so important to him,’’ his granddaughter said. “He cared so much about the people he came in contact with, and he maintained an aura of peacefulness that was very comforting.’’
His daughter Judi Rotenberg Ross Zuker of Newton, who used to sell her father’s paintings at a Newbury Street gallery she formerly owned, said his enthusiasm for a life that had stretched for so many years seemed to almost overshadow his artistic accomplishments at times.
“People are always so fascinated by his life and his personality and the presence of him,’’ she said. “Sometimes his great art took second place to his great personage. With a lesser man, they would have focused more on his fabulous artwork.’’
In addition to his wife, son, daughter, and granddaughter, Mr. Rotenberg leaves another daughter, Jane R. Moss of Boston; two stepdaughters, Audrey Lentz of Winter Park, Fla., and Janis Bear of New York City; four other grandchildren; four stepgrandchildren; three great-grandchildren; and three step-great-grandchildren.
A service has been held for Mr. Rotenberg, who was buried in Agudas Achim Cemetery in Attleboro.
“He never thought like an old man, he thought like a young person,’’ his son said. “Nine days before he died, I had dinner and a beer with him.’’
Mr. Rotenberg never took for granted the blessing of longevity.
“When I’m gone, I will miss all of this,’’ he said in the 1998 Globe interview with a sweep of his hand, as if to include everything he had ever encountered. The desire to keep creating was such that “sometimes I wake up at night and just paint pictures.’’
Asked in the growingbolder.com video what he wanted for his upcoming birthday, Mr. Rotenberg named only one gift: “Another day.

Brookline may now be a Democratic stronghold, the place Michael S. Dukakis began the first of many campaigns that led him to become a presidential nominee, but it was not always so. Until Sumner Kaplan came along, the town was solidly Republican.
“If it hadn’t been for Sumner, I never would have gotten actively involved in politics, and I’m not alone,’’ said Dukakis, who was elected to fill the same House seat eight years later when Mr. Kaplan ran for state Senate. “He was very much a transformative figure in state politics. And certainly for people like me and others who were touched by him and got deeply involved in his campaigns, he was everything.’’
Mr. Kaplan, who also served as a Brookline selectman, a brigadier general in the Army Reserve, and a probate and family court judge, died March 20 in Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston of complications of congestive heart failure and lymphoma. He was 91 and had moved to Jamaica Plain 11 years ago after living most of his life in Brookline.
Rent control was Mr. Kaplan’s primary focus initially, but his approach to campaigning was just as important to his election. He went door to door and straphanger to straphanger, changing one voter’s mind at a time.
“Nobody had ever done that in Brookline,’’ Dukakis recalled. “This guy shows up at 7 in the morning at every one of the T stops in town. This was so different than anything this town had ever experienced, and it was a lesson for the rest of us. He was the mentor for us younger fry who were part of his crew, and in the course of moving Brookline out of the Republican column, he was a great role model.’’
On Beacon Hill, Mr. Kaplan did not shy from taking stands that bucked the prevailing mood. In the mid-1950s, when US Senator Joseph McCarthy of Wisconsin turned the red scare into something of a national obsession, the Massachusetts House passed a bill calling for public school teachers to be fired if they refused to say if they were Communists.
In an unsuccessful attempt to get the bill reconsidered, Mr. Kaplan questioned its constitutionality and said it turned teachers into “second-class citizens.’’
When the House debated capital punishment, Mr. Kaplan told the Globe that “only the poor man goes to the electric chair, because he cannot afford an expensive lawyer
“He also was able to be a very forceful advocate without being nasty,’’ Frank added. “We lament the lack of civility. He was the perfect example of somebody who was passionate and civil about issues. He was the opposite of a scary figure. He was a warm, open guy who had a lot of appeal.’’
Born in Boston, Sumner Zalman Kaplan was the youngest of three children and grew up in Dorchester and Roxbury until his family moved to Brookline during his senior year at Boston Latin School, from which he graduated in 1939.
He graduated from Massachusetts State College, now the University of Massachusetts Amherst, in 1941. During World War II, he rose to colonel while serving in the Army Corps of Engineers, then served for many years in the Army Reserve.
In 1944 he married Eleanor Fisher, with whom he had been fixed up on a date when she was 15 and he was 16.
“As a young boy, his reputation was of being very mischievous,’’ said his daughter Ruth of Brookline. “I think that would be a good way to characterize him his whole life, because there was a part of him that just enjoyed mischief.’’
Mr. Kaplan graduated from Harvard Law School in 1948 and worked as a lawyer, first in a firm, then in a practice with his brother and a friend. He also served as a Town Meeting member in Brookline and was on the Board of Selectmen for a dozen years, three as chairman.
In 1983, Governor Edward J. King appointed Mr. Kaplan to the probate and family court bench, and he served for a decade as a judge, including some years on a recall basis.
A service has been held for Mr. Kaplan, who remained active in political circles into his 80s and easily connected with people decades younger, whether they be aspirants for elective office or his five grandchildren, who called him Pal. The sobriquet originated when Mr. Kaplan was spending time with his first grandchild and said, “You know, we’re pals.’’
The nickname was appropriate for all he met, among them author Doris Kearns Goodwin. Mr. Kaplan helped officiate at her 1975 marriage to author and presidential adviser Richard Goodwin, who gave an emotional Town Meeting speech of his own about rent control in the early 1950s while working with Mr. Kaplan on that contentious issue in Brookline.
“You just fall in love with the guy,’’ she said of Mr. Kaplan. “You can’t help it.’’
She called him one of the rare public officials who combined a closeness with his family with devotion to the larger worlds of politics and the judiciary.
“If he’d never been involved publicly,’’ she said, “he still would have been an extraordinary man in the eyes of those who knew him, because he exerted that kindness and warmth.’’
For years after his best friend and former law partner, Howard Katz, moved to Israel, Mr. Kaplan visited every year and called every Sunday. The two discussed everything from politics to personal lives to the biblical passages read at weekly services.
“He wasn’t a guy out of sight, out of mind; he was always in mind,’’ Katz said. “I used to say of him, ‘Sumner had a compulsion to do good.’ He didn’t just do good — he had a compulsion, and he would never do anything to hurt anybody, even when he had a reason to be angry.’’
Because of his public roles and unfailing good nature, Mr. Kaplan was an emotional and intellectual resource for generations of people he encountered.
“So many people relied on him for help and guidance and support,’’ said his daughter Marjorie of New York City. “He was probably the most optimistic, enthusiastic, positive human being I and many other people will ever know. It was all about giving. . . . He never said no.’’
“My mother told me the other day, ‘I don’t think he ever tallied it up and measured the full impact of his life,’ and she’s right, he was never keeping count,’’ Ruth said. “Nobody was.’’
